Or are they going to do the WCW Worldwide thing and tape months' worth of Dark at a time? You can always do what WWF did which was tape 3 or 4 shows in one taping cycle. You can even recycle the same enhancement talent. That way, you technically only lose one day as opposed to 3 or 4. Also, do the commentators have to be onscreen? WWF always did the terrible green screen and superimposed the commentators. During the Raw tapings around 94-96, when they panned to ringside, you never saw a commentary table. Just disembodied voices because Vince was losing his ass financially, but still wanted to pretend the commentary was live and not dubbed in that morning in Stamford.

Beech27 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Reportedly, the plan is to tape Rampage after Dynamite, except on special occasions. So that's less travel. (Though maybe presents a challenge in pacing, for the TV audience vs the live audience.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Stoked to see how they set up or dress the studio. WMC TV 5 style? WTBS style? Please not Disney Worldwide. An ECW at Center stage feel would be nice. Daydreaming Dave Brown and Corey Maclin becoming All Elite. RIP Lance, you will always be ichiban.

Did Ex ever call a running knee to the body a Kitchen Sink? My tell for that was calling a reverse atomic drop a Manhatten drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also weak and will likely be unable to avoid clicking on "AEW Rampage spoilers," so that sucks too. People have been decent, even on twitter, about not spoiling tonight's episode so that's good for those that want to go in clean. And, yeah, I hope it is very much WCW at the MGM kind of feel.

I have no idea what the capabilities are as far as AEW's production truck / having a recording room available. But it's also possible they can record the commentary on Dynamite & Rampage days in their down time. Call time is like 1PM and Taz & Excalibur have plenty of time to voice the next week's Dark episode / Tony & Show for Elevation before Dynamite goes live. Would save them a travel day / off day doing it that way. Not quite as good as doing it live and being able to feel the emotion. But it's Dark & Elevation, these are mostly enhancement matches. So that's probably not a big concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be outdoors as an attraction like the Nitros they did. Will probably be like Worldwide inside with the rotating ring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 One piece of little info from that ComicCon panel that I don't think has been talked about is that Thunder Rosa was heaping praise and stuff onto CM Punk and almost made him cry backstage before he went out in front of the crowd. That's sweet. There's another panel floating around from a few weeks ago with Tay, Sammy & Darby that's really sweet. Tay spends a good chunk of the video telling Sammy to stop cursing because there are kids in the audience. Darby is 100% his character, he's so weird and awkward when he talks but it's kind of endearing I dunno. It's odd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RISE crew were cursed with injuries before and during so only Dust/Zoey Skye managed to actually finish said tour (and make several more).

Casey Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 TK wants to run Craven Cottage in the UK "soon", apparently. He also said Double or Nothing will likely return to Las Vegas next year, and he wants to run shows in California around that same time. He also did the - more or less - "no comment, I can't speak on that" thing he did whenever asked about CM Punk, with Bryan Danielson questions, in his interview with the Observer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
